A SHOCKING DEATH,
stephen MNlOncy Pound Dead
His N0ae Partly Eaten by Mice


His Nose Partly Eaten by Mice.
The community was shocked on
Wednesday last at the announcement
that Steve Maloney, an old resident
OF this place, had been found dead in
his house on Spring street, his nose
having been partially eaten by mice.
Upon inquiry, we found that he had
not been seen alive since last Monday.
On Sunday last, he had been drinking
heavily, but was quite sober when last
seen on the following day. Dan Kelly
who stopped at Maloney's cabin while
the latter was engaged in nursing John
f. Norris, of Reveille. had missed him,
and on Wednesday, at noon, went to
the cabin, where he found the de-
ceased on his kitchen floor dead. He
had evidently passed through the
front room, when he had thrown his hat
on his bed. Kelly, not even touching
the body, Immediately appraised Jas.
Downing and the Sheriff f of his dis
covery. The body vas then removed
to Hubs undertaking room, and on
Thursday morning (the Public Admin
istrator not having yet qualiied) JUS
tice Sanders held an inquest on it.
Kelly testified that he found deceased
lying on the floor with his clothes,
boots and one glove on, the other glove
lying behind his head. A chair had
fallen over between the stove and the
body. The latter had frozen stiff and
the nose was partly eaten by mice.
George Baily, a bartender at the
Truckee saloon, testified that deceased
was there on Sunday last, very drunk.
j.. w. Lambert testified that deceased
was ut his store on Monday and
bought some lines. There was othertes-
timony similar to the foregoing, and
the jury then rendered verdict that de-
ceased died for a chill cause by exposure
and extreme weakness. The remains
were taken charge Of by Eureka Lodge
No. Is, F. 4 A. M, the deceased hav-
ing been a member in good standing
Of Idaho Lodge No. l, Idaho, and
were buried, in the Masonic Cemetery
on Thursday last. Mr.. Maloney was

number of friends, and was generally

ada, and aged 81 years.

THE BALL OF THE KNICKs.
A Pioneer Organization Deserving
n Substantial Benefit.

Substantial Benefit.
AS will be seen by advertisement
elsewhere in this issue of the SENTINEL,
Knickerbocker Hose Company No. 2,
will give q grand ball at the Opera
House on Thursday Evening, Decem-
Der 80. The committees in charge are
doing everything in their power to
make the occasion one of the most
enjoyable that will take place here
during the holiday season. That this
ball is to be a successful as well as
pleasurable event does not admit OF
a doubt. And why should it not be ?
This hose company is among the
pioneer fire organizations of fthe town,
and at all times has contributed its
full share OF effort in saving the prop
erty OF our people. There is a close
affinity between the old Hook and
Ladder Company and Knickerbocker
Hose Co. No. 2. The Hook and Lad
der Company was the first organized
in Eureka. A little later the Knicks
were brought into existence. Through
all the years the membership Of these
companies has embraced some of the
best men in the community, Indeed,
our entire volunteer Fire Department
is composed OF the more active bust
ness and professional men OF the place.
In large cities they have professional
tiremen who are paid for their services.
Here it is the business men and prop
erty holders themselves who must
voluntarily nan the ropes. With
Eureka's experience it ought not to be
a difficult matter to secure a good
financial support for our fire com
panies. They are deserving OF all
credit for past services and should be
the especial pride Of the town. To keep
them on an effective basis they must
receive the cordial support of the PEG
pie. The particular company under
notice has not taken a benefit in two
years. Its exchequer is empty. The
company hopes to make a few dollars
out of the forthcoming ball. But the
money is to be but an incident OF the
occasion. The main thing in view is q
grand social reunion of our pleasure
seeking people and a good time gen
orally. Let the Knicks ball be a
rousing social event as we'll as q
brilliant and overwhelming financial
success.

A Fire started.

Joe. Barker went out to the yard
back Of his tailor shop last Thursday
afternoon, about 4 o'clock, to bring in
some firewood, leaving a lamp, which
he had not used before, lighted, but
turned down low. He returned a few
minutes later, and found that a blaze
OF fire was creeping up the side Of the
wall where the lamp stood. 1t was
extinguished without much trouble.
before the fire companies, who were
on hand, had a chance to get water on.
Barker does not know how the fire
caught. Had it got under Roadway
it would have endangered the whole
town.

THE President made an address to
the Y. M. c. A. at Kansas City. He
gave the Dung men some very
wholesome advice and doubtless dis
carded for the moment the speeches
prepared from the cyclopaedia. He
said: Gin the busy activities of our
daily life we are apt to neglect instru-
mentahties which are quietly but eff
fectually doing most important service
in moulding our national character.
Among these, and challenging but lit
tie notice compared with their valuable
results, are the Young Mems Christian
Associations scattered throughout our
country. All will admit the supreme
importance of that honesty and fixed
principle, upon which rest Christian
motives and purposes, and all will &C
knowledge the sad and increasing
temptations which beset our young
men and lure them to destruction. To
save these young men, often times de-
prived of the restraints of home, from
degradation and ruin and to fit them
for usefulness and honor, these associ-
atoms have entered the field of Chris
tian effort and are pushing their noble
work. When it is considered that the
subjects of their efforts are to be the
active men, for good or evil, to the
next generation, mere worldly pru-
dence dictates that these associations
should be aided and encouraged
Their increase and 6ourishing condi-
ton reflect the highest honor upon
the good men who have devoted them.
selves to this work, and demonstrated
that the American people are not en-
tirely lacking in appreciation of its
value"

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that
there is an extraordinary bit of gossip
as to Carlisle's intention as to the ways
and means committee. 1t is that, I'M
able to find Democrats strong enough
to cope with the very able Republican
minority of that committee, he will
dismantle the committee and send
Reed and Mckinley and the other
strong Republicans to other commit
tees, putting inexperienced and less
prominent Republicans in their places.
The story, which of course cannot be
verified, is that of the Republican
members, Judge Kelley, of Pennsyl-
vania, will be the only one left. Car
Isle would like to shelve this "giant
of protection" but the precedents OF
the House stand like wall about the
Keystone State member. Kelley was
chairman of the committee during last
Congress when the Republican party
had control of the House, and this oil
itself is enough to protect him. Tom
Reed, of Maine, the Republican lead
er, was also a prominent member Of
the committee in the last House. He
was taken from the judiciary commit.
tee and placed on the ways and means
for the reason that Carlisle thought he
would do less damage to the Demo.
cratic programme in relation to rev.
enue legislation, it being a subject
which he had never studied in all its
bewildering details.

Mr.. Depew Talks Of Blaine.

From the Chicago Times
"Well," said Mr.. Depew, while his
left foot beat tattoo on the carpeted
floor of his apartment, "I know that
Mr.. Blaine does not particularly de-
sire the nomination, and yet, as a
matter of fact, he has no opposition
to that Office. 1t is peculiar condi-
ton of affairs, but there is practically
no opposition in the country to Mr..
Blaine's nomination"
81 tell you," he added after quiet
pause, during which the nervous foot
was also inactive, s'The American peo-
pie have instinctively a deep-seated
sentiment in favor of fair play. When
Mr.. Tilden was a candidate for the
Presidency there was a large public
sentiment, in which / as Republi-
can did not share, that resolved itself
into an almost general belief that Til
den was elected as President of the
United States, and ifhe had been NOM
mated again he would have been el-
ected, as sure as guns" and Mr.. De-
pew brought his right hand down up
on the arm of his chair with forcible
emphasis. "Now," said he, ''the peo-
pie are of a firm belief that hysteric-
al response to an asinine address, de-
livered by phenomenal jackass with
a reverend cognomen, resulted in the
defeat of Mr.. Blaine for the Presiden-
cY last election, and if he should be
nominated again the result win be far
different. AS it was, he was defeated
only by TOO votes, and since that time
the people have had an opportunity
to estimate what they have got and
what they have lost by that result

THE track layers on the Manitoba's

THE track layers on the Manitoba's
Western extension reached Great Falls,
Montana, Saturday. The building of
the Manitoba extension from Minot to
Great Falls by Sheppard, Winston &
Co., stands without parallel in the
history of railroad construction, both
in the magnitude Of the work as a
whole and in the record of track-laying
on particular days or weeks. The en-
tire length of the line from Minot to
Great Falls is $50 miles, and on April
I'd last the track extended FIVE miles
west of Minot. On that date the con-
tractors began the gigantic undertake
ing Of grading and laying tracks on
s4s miles of road into new country
in one direction, with the intention Of
completing it by Nov. I. The Isth
of October brought them to their des-
tination, although the tracklayers will
continue right on and put the iron on
the Montana Central from Great Falls
to Helena.

CONGRESSMAN WILSON is In about
the same condition as the Democratic
papers were wont to look upon Hon.
Loren Fletcher at certain period not
many moons ago, that is "hI of a
FIX" When he was running for Con-
gress against Mr.. Lovely he promised
Editor Darby of the Pe0bl's Press
that he should have the Owatonna
postohice. After the election the Dem
ocrats, or a number of them at least,
circulated a petition in favor of one
Coggswell. Then Wilson forsook
Darby and supported Coggswell, but
was politely informed by the P. M.
General that it would be great &C
commodation to himself and the Pres
ident if he would not urge the change
in the postmastership until after Con-
gress adjourned. In the interval, the
willy Judge was reminded that his cleo
ton was secured upon the modern
civil service platform, i. c. that he
would not recommend the displace-
ment of Republican official, simply
because he was a Republican. 1t hap
pens that Judge Wheelock, department
commander of Minnesota of the G. A.
R., is postmaster at Owatonna, and
lest he ALLEVIATE some of the Grand
Army boys, Mr.. Wilson has given out
that he shall not NEEDLE with the af-
fairs of the Office until Mr.. Wheelock's
time expires. Wilson seems to be be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, with
no avenue left him for escape. Which
ever way he turns only curses will
meet him.

THE grand Garfield mausoleum in
Lake View Cemetery at Cleveland is
nearing completion. 1t is proposed to
charge an admission fee to see the
murdered Presidents tomb, and the
Chicago Inter Ocean voices the senti-
ments of the people in its protest
against establishing such a custom.
1t says many an honest American has
made his humble pilgrimage to the
tomb of Lincoln at Springfield, only to
hear, with justifable indignation and
pity, that if he wanted to see where
Lincoln lay and hear the old tale re-
cited about his effects, he must give
up his quarter to the custodian Of the
monument. There is one sort OF thrift
that is destestable, and that is the thrift
displayed in the maintenance of our
memorials to our public men.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT, the well.
known New York legislator and CAPT
talist, was in St. Paul Saturday on hi:
way east after a sojourn on his Mon
tana cattle rancho. He would moi
talk politics very largely, but is deci
sive in his assertion that Col. Fred
Grant will be elected secretary o.
state. People out West do not have
much faith in such an event, as it does
not seem that the administration car
afford to have New York go Republi,
can this year. Still, Mr.. Roosevelt i:
not the only far-seeing politician who
processes an abiding faith in Grant:
election. One thing is certain, if il
turns out as Roosevelt says, Grover
Cleveland is a dead duck.
